The bottom of the trap panel is empty, and there are many devil's nets at the bottom.

It is a magical plant that prefers dark and damp environments, and has a certain level of autonomy and is able to trap its prey to death with its tough and powerful vines.

Wizards who specialize in herbology will train it to be used as a weapon to protect their treasures.

It can be regarded as a relatively powerful magical plant.

However, when Dudley came down, the Devil's Nets were all curled up on the edge of the wall, apparently having had an unpleasant experience with the Light.

The devil's web is afraid of light and heat and is its natural enemy.

This is its only weakness, and it is also its greatest.

Just like a human who turns into a vampire after wearing a stone ghost face, he will be burned in a large area when he touches the sun.

The best way to deal with the Devil's Web is to use spells related to light and heat.

Dudley looked around and saw that it was empty and didn't see Harry or the others, apparently they had left before him.

"I don't know where they went."

With that, Dudley's left foot began to lower slowly diagonally, while his right foot stepped in the opposite position, and the whole began to move in a strange step, and slowly, slowly, slowly, his whole body seemed to melt into the darkness, and disappeared.

The killing technique of beating the enemy clan - 'Shadow', which is a skill that can hide oneself in the shadows and do not make a sound, is quite useful.

Everywhere Dudley walked with the 'Dark Step', there were gradually more complex and intricate strange patterns on the ground.

Forge into a array.

At this time, Harry and the others had found the correct key in a group of flying keys and opened the door in front of them.

"It's too easy, isn't it?"

Whether it's the devil's net or the key finding in front of you, it's so simple that it couldn't be simpler.

The former only needs to listen to herbology a little carefully, while the latter can pass with some foundation in magic or riding a broomstick.

It just so happens that recently the herbalistic science is how to deal with the devil's net, and Professor Flitwick has taught how to use magic spells to distinguish the real from the fake.

They even suspect that the three-headed dog that Dudley is facing outside is actually the most difficult level.

That's not something a few first-graders can deal with, well, even if it's a first-year consummation that they can skip the level.

"Let's really not wait for Brother D?"

Harry glanced back at the dark room behind him, then asked his companions.

"A little further on." Hermione held her wand and said earnestly, As the wizard who was the best at spells, she could tell the key from the fake with a single spell: "We can't live up to Dudley's expectations, and if we can, we can complete these tests before he comes in." ”

"We can't rely on him all the time, he needs companions, not oil bottles."

The fact that she had just done nothing to help with the three-headed dog made Hermione very unhappy with herself, and none of the knowledge she had learned could be put to good use.

"So Potter, what are you waiting for?"

Malfoy said impatiently, pushing Harry open the door ahead.

Neither the Devil's Net nor the keys did anything for him, and this Potter actually got the real key on a broomstick.

No, I'm definitely going to shoot in the next game.

The rest of the people glanced at each other and walked in.

It was a special room, larger than expected, and they were standing on the edge of a huge chessboard, in front of which were huge black chess pieces, all several heads taller than them. At the other end of the room, where they were facing each other, were some white chess pieces.

"Wizard chess?"

Malfoy muttered in a low voice, apparently recognizing the meaning of the pieces, and looked at Ron with an unkind expression: "Tsk Robbut, it's your home field." Looks like we'll have to finish this game to get through here. ”

Ron was the best at wizarding chess among the men.

"Call me Ron!"

Hard, fist hard!

This damn Malfoy must have done it on purpose!

Ron huffed and shook his fist at Malfoy, who was not a bad thing for him at all.

Just a little Ronnie.

"It's a Transfiguration Charm, it should be Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Charm." Hermione spoke again, and she seemed to have found the key point: "The Devil's Web represents herbalism, it must be Professor Sprout's arrangement, the fake key was just cast with the Copy Charm, then Professor Flitwick, I think we will have to face the topic of Professor Snape or Professor Quirrell next." ”

There are only so many disciplines for young wizards, and there are only a few professors left.

"The three-headed dog in the first level is the work of Professor Kettleburn?"

Neville seemed to react as well.

Kettle Byrne is a professor in the Conservation of Magical Beasts class.

"I don't think so." Malfoy pursed his lips, "The three-headed dog and the next few are obviously not of the same level, and it should be Hagrid's reckless big man who put this dangerous creature in place." ”

Ever since Hagrid had a dragon egg, Malfoy had often run to his house, and once when Hagrid was showing off his cultivation ability, he overheard him mention that he had raised a three-headed dog, which he didn't pay attention to at the time, but now he remembered it when Hermione reminded him of it.

By this time, Ron had been looking at the chessboard for a while: "Hey, guys, listen to me, I think I know how to get through this." With three pieces missing, I need three people. ”

Playing chess, you can only pass this level after playing chess.

Actually, there is a faster way, and if you can destroy these pieces with a spell, you should be able to pass it, but they obviously can't do this kind of thing. I haven't learned that powerful spells yet.

Since you can't break the rules, join the rules and use the rules.

That's what Dudley had told them.

"Let me be the first one." Neville stepped forward, "I'm not as good at using my brain as you are, and I'm not as skilled with spells as you are, but I think I can still use some of them, like now." ”

"I'm the second." Harry stepped forward.

Ron pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'm the third."

"I want to." Malfoy cleared his throat and pushed Ron away, stepping forward, "The third one should be me." ”

This move surprised everyone, and everyone looked at Malfoy in surprise.

"What are you all looking at me with those looks? Thought I wouldn't stand up? ”

Although he said this, Malfoy looked like he had expected it a long time ago, and shrugged his shoulders: "Don't think! I'm not just going to let you Gryffindor show off. ”

"But." Ron hesitated.

"No, you can't be involved as a chess player, you have to stay calm at all times, otherwise you won't be able to play to your full potential. Miss Granger is right, let's not be a drag bottle. Then prove it to him, prove it to Brother D! ”

Malfoy said earnestly.

"I don't want to lose, let's win! Rofus! ”

Originally, Ron was still a little moved, but the last sentence of Rofos made him instantly lose his good feelings.

"Again, my name is Ron! Ron Weasley! ”

"Yes, Mr. Weatherby."

"Malfoy, what are you?"
